I think that those of us who think today is positive have a means to consider the context. Pruitt has been on the job 12 days. Some of the guys who signed today were not even our radar 12 days ago. The early signing period made it unbelievably challenging because of the short window. I think that our class will be solid when it's all said and done in February, possibly Top 15. Considering where we started, I think that will be great. You can see that many of the players committed to the previous staff were asked to look elsewhere because they did not fit the new system. That is a favor to them and to us. I am not sure what other miracles people expected today, but we got to boom for some good players, and we will see how it goes in February. I think some of you will be surprised.

I absolutely agree. It looks like CJP's intuitive enough to be bringing in fellas who'll provide the best possible base for his future teams here; taking SEC caliber talent only and also only those who're perfect fits for his system. JUCOs are for the upcoming season. Just as Frost is doing, CJP's taking in the JUCOs for 2018...the high school kids for the future beyond '18. I'm betting Jimbo and Kelly and Mullen and all those other late additions as P5 HCs are dealing with that exact, same dilemma. IMHO, all looks well at this juncture.

Up to 31st on 247 after Wood-Anderson commitment, looks like we could close the day top 30 if Allen commits as well.

Not true. I think mays had this planned for a while. And we really shouldn’t care. You can’t fault the 18 year old for wanting to go play championship ball right away. You grown men are acting worse than middle school girls. He’s not coming. Get over it. End of story. This day is shaping up better than many of us thought it was going to. Enjoy watching the ones come that we didn’t expect 3 weeks ago. Time to get over your mays man crush.

Yes it iis true!!! He wants to win! The above three minus curry are reasons we were 4-8 and not winning, Curry ‘s incompetence sealed the deal!
I don’t have a crush, don’t care if he came here or not!
He was committed here for what ? 2 years? End of story! He didn’t plan for a long time to go to UG, if you think so your an idiot

Yeah I’m sure our horrid season and GA championship season had not a bit to do with it. Great call. The kid wants to win. I guarantee you he was looking elsewhere before Currie shat the bed.

Goes to show - kids want to win. They follow the winning the programs.

If Pruitt can show some results on the field the big time recruits will come back.

Complete betrayal by Mays.

Knew we weren't going to get him at this point but how in the world do you grow up a huge fan of TN where Dad played and fans love you and you turn your back on them because they had a bad season.
New staff hired and telling you how much they need you.

Not only do you turn your back on them, you go to a hated rival.

Punk move IMO

...and to U all, also. Good luck in the playoffs. I am rooting for Bama to win it all and that's saying something. The last time I rooted for Bama was the '91 Sugar Bowl (maybe it was #92) against Miami. That play were Teague ran down that WR and stripped him of the ball and had that amazing return was one of the best plays I've ever seen in a college football game. Of course, the only reason I'm rooting for Bama is that a kinda like your DC

Positive view of recruiting people are missing: Vols ranked 14th in the country in recruiting right now on Rivals based on avg star rating. That means more right now than actual rating because it shows quality over quantity. Rivals bases their overall score on a team’s top 20 recruits. So comparing us to teams with 18, 19, 20+ recruits isn’t fair yet. If Pruitt closes the way it looks he will, we will finish with a top 15 class. Mark it down. And that would be extremely impressive on such a short turn around.
